I've got a rectangle which I want to split in 3 equal parts, but I wanted to cut a triangle with side length equal to the rectangle side.
However, when calculating the last parallelogram, the area is too big and I don't understand why.
A third of the total area is 101,5cm
Two right angled triangles which I couldn't do the math on, but used an online calculator on should each be a third of that area
The area of the leftover parallelogram however, is way too big with like 24 leftover cm2
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if it's an illusion?
